3. Biden is being underestimated by progressives

In fact, I think Biden is the true progressive, and the only one with a long history of accomplishment.

6. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[Blue_true]

7. There are seven candidates that have records of getting an array

of progress done at several levels of government and outside, Biden, Warren, Harris, Buttigieg, Inslee and Hickenlooper (though his energy stance is troubling).

5. Thanks for this Cha. It is really tiresome to see some of the lies and distortions going around

trying to paint Joe as an anti-environmentalist

There was one the other day where they showed a "Greenpeace" survey on the candidates view on the environment, and they graded Joe a D-. When I looked a little more closely and saw they rated Andrew Yang as a D+, I realized either their criteria was very flawed, or they have a political agenda, beyond their suppossed concern for the environment

Perspective is desperately needed, instead of propaganda.


Thanks again Cha

9. Greenpeace used to be inspiring two and a half decades ago.

But they have continuously drifted toward outrageous "show" activities and have largely marginalized themselves.

[still_one]

10. I think so

[Hortensis]

36. Self marginalized. Yes. That's very typical of

people too far left and right. They typically offend others by despising and lying about them to fit their notions and destroy what judgement they may have started with by believing their own lies. Wash, rinse, repeat on down the rabbit hole.

To the point that they will not accept some of our most promising, committed and above all effective politicians on climate subjects IF they're "mainstream" instead of dissenters like them. Like Jay Inslee; he's not on their lists , but Sanders is a towering giant in fighting the climate crisis.

Just look at that completely phony "rating" Greenpeace just released with the obvious political purpose of elevating Bernie Sanders and sabotaging Joe Biden. Where is their commitment to fighting climate change in that?

Another pro-Sanders far-left group, EcoWatch, was very unhappy with Sanders' temporarily low 2016 LCV rating because the man was running for president and missed a bunch of votes, but his record in other years has been quite respectable. Big deal, right? Instead of accepting and explaining that, they attacked LCV and padded that with ridiculous nonsense about what an outstanding climate leader Sanders was.

In both cases, lies greatly preferred because the truth would not do. Even when it would.

Now, the gold-standard League of Conservation Voters thinks well of Biden because they know his environmental beliefs very well (and have his voting record on site back to 1973, they've worked with him to accomplish goals for decades, and they trust him and his ability to come through. That last is big. Only success counts.

And unlike GP and other far-left groups, LCV's discussion of all our candidates is always professional and objective.

16. Thank You, still_one! I don't know if you've seen

this or not..?

It's from BlueGreen Alliance who Biden's Team was supposed to have "plagiarized..

It's too bad Greenpeace is trying to gaslight with their grading system.. I used to like them a lot. Bought their calendars every Christmas for my loved ones when I lived in New York.

Yes, the facts on the ground are vital!

17. Thanks Cha. Yes I have, and I am disappointed that some are conveniently ignoring that. Regardless

like many of these over-inflated, hyperbolic accusations lately, they turn out to be nothing

[Cha]

18. I guess that's why

"nothing burger" was coined.

noth·ing·burg·er

/ˈnəTHiNGˌbərɡər/

noun
informal•US

noun: nothing burger

something that is or turns out to be insignificant or lacking in substance.

19. With catsup and mustard.

37. :)

[betsuni]

8. Not like he claimed these are his own new ideas, that he's the only environmental progressive.

"But his plagiarism" isn't going to happen.

[Cha]

21. Right, betsuni.. a statement from one of the so-called "plagiarized"..

23. People quibbling about missing citations as if it's an emergency can't also claim that

climate change is an emergency.
